Has there been a cigarette price hike? No official price increase announced

Claims regarding a potential cigarette price hike have returned to the agenda in recent days. Some news websites and social media posts have suggested that cigarette prices could see an increase of 20 TL.

At the center of these claims is a draft legislative proposal reportedly prepared by the Ministry of Health. It is alleged that this draft could introduce a new contribution fee on cigarettes, sugary drinks, and high-calorie snacks.

However, as of Saturday, October 3, 2026, no official price increase has been reflected in cigarette prices. No announcement regarding a price hike has been made by authorized institutions or relevant official channels.

It is noted that a potential price increase in the current situation could only come to the agenda if the alleged regulation is enacted. Therefore, it is important for consumers to follow official announcements.
